When I put together my Chumby Guts kit, I had to stop and scratch my head a few times because I didn't know how to orient a part or which screws to use. I filmed the second time around, to share with you how easy it comes together! Now all that's left is to build a plush enclosure for it. Keep an eye out for an upcoming CRAFT Video about that!

Excellent video! Thanks for sharing. You make it look so easy! Is there anything you can't do?
I'd really love to play with one of these Chumby Guts kits. Let me know when you get tired of your and I will take it off your hands :D

Is it important to leave those pink putty pad things on the boards? It seemed like leaving them on made it more difficult to set the boards when screwing everything down, so I took them off...

@Ryan - yes, it's very important to have those. They are used to transfer heat from various components to the heatsink. Without them, the electronics may overheat and fail.

I think my odds of putting this together without this video would have been approximately zero.
